Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method for a UE (User Equipment), in a wireless communication system, comprising: the UE is configured with and/or is served in a serving cell by a network, wherein an active UL (Uplink) BWP (Bandwidth Part) of the UE is activated in the serving cell; the UE receives an indication and/or a configuration, which is indicative of or associated with a first value of a TRP (Transmission/Reception Point) identifier and a second value of the TRP identifier; the UE receives an indication and/or a configuration, which is indicative of or associated with a first group of PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) resource(s) of the active UL BWP, wherein the first group of PUCCH resource(s) is associated with or related to the first value of the TRP identifier; the UE receives an indication and/or a configuration, which is indicative of or associated with a second group of PUCCH resource(s) of the active UL BWP, wherein the second group of PUCCH resource(s) is associated with or related to the second value of the TRP identifier; the UE is scheduled to transmit a PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) via a DCI (Downlink Control Information) format 0_0; and the UE transmits the PUSCH via a spatial relation of a PUCCH resource, wherein the PUCCH resource is selected or determined based on value of the TRP identifier associated with or related to the PUSCH.

2

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUCCH resource is selected or determined from the first group of PUCCH resource(s) if or when the PUSCH is associated with or related to the first value of the TRP identifier, and/or the PUCCH resource is selected or determined from the second group of PUCCH resource(s) if or when the PUSCH is associated with or related to the second value of the TRP identifier.

3

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first value of the TRP identifier is associated with or related to an index of a first CORESET (Control Resource Set), and/or the second value of the TRP identifier is associated with or related to an index of a second CORESET.

4

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first value of the TRP identifier is associated with a first TRP serving or scheduling the UE, and/or the second value of the TRP identifier is associated with a second TRP serving or scheduling the UE.

5

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first group of PUCCH resource(s), and/or the second group of PUCCH resource(s) are grouped or identified by configured or indicated spatial relation.

6

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first group of PUCCH resource(s) are associated with or identified by a first PUCCH group ID, and/or the second group of PUCCH resource(s) are associated with or identified by a second PUCCH group ID.

7

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first PUCCH group ID is associated with or related to the first value of the TRP identifier and/or the second PUCCH group ID is associated with or related to the second value of the TRP identifier.

8

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first group of PUCCH resource(s) and the second group of PUCCH resource(s) are configured by the same PUCCH configuration of the active UL BWP.

9

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUCCH resource comprises the lowest or the highest PUCCH resource ID among the first group of PUCCH resource(s).

10

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUCCH resource comprises the lowest or the highest PUCCH resource ID among the second group of PUCCH resource(s).

11

11. A User Equipment (UE), wherein the UE is configured with and/or is served in a serving cell by a network and an active UL (Uplink) BWP (Bandwidth Part) of the UE is activated in the serving cell, comprising: a control circuit; a processor installed in the control circuit; and a memory installed in the control circuit and operatively coupled to the processor; wherein the processor is configured to execute a program code stored in the memory to: receive an indication and/or a configuration, which is indicative of or associated with a first value of a TRP (Transmission/Reception Point) identifier and a second value of the TRP identifier; receive an indication and/or a configuration, which is indicative of or associated with a first group of PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) resource(s) of the active UL BWP, wherein the first group of PUCCH resource(s) is associated with or related to the first value of the TRP identifier; receive an indication and/or a configuration, which is indicative of or associated with a second group of PUCCH resource(s) of the active UL BWP, wherein the second group of PUCCH resource(s) is associated with or related to the second value of the TRP identifier; be scheduled to transmit a PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) via a DCI (Downlink Control Information) format 0_0; and transmit the PUSCH via a spatial relation of a PUCCH resource, wherein the PUCCH resource is selected or determined based on value of the TRP identifier associated with or related to the PUSCH.

12

12. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the PUCCH resource is selected or determined from the first group of PUCCH resource(s), if or when the PUSCH is associated with or related to the first value of the TRP identifier, and/or the PUCCH resource is selected or determined from the second group of PUCCH resource(s), if or when the PUSCH is associated with or related to the second value of the TRP identifier.

13

13. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the first value of the TRP identifier is associated with or related to an index of a first CORESET (Control Resource Set), and/or the second value of the TRP identifier is associated with or related to an index of a second CORESET.

14

14. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the first value of the TRP identifier is associated with a first TRP serving or scheduling the UE, and/or the second value of the TRP identifier is associated with a second TRP serving or scheduling the UE.

15

15. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the first group of PUCCH resource(s) and/or the second group of PUCCH resource(s) are grouped or identified by configured or indicated spatial relation.

16

16. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the first group of PUCCH resource(s) are associated with or identified by a first PUCCH group ID, and/or the second group of PUCCH resource(s) are associated with or identified by a second PUCCH group ID.

17

17. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the first PUCCH group ID is associated with or related to the first value of the TRP identifier and/or the second PUCCH group ID is associated with or related to the second value of the TRP identifier.

18

18. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the first group of PUCCH resource(s) and the second group of PUCCH resource(s) are configured by the same PUCCH configuration of the active UL BWP.

19

19. The UE of claim 11 , the PUCCH resource comprises the lowest or the highest PUCCH resource ID among the first group of PUCCH resource(s).

20

20. The UE of claim 11 , the PUCCH resource comprises the lowest or the highest PUCCH resource ID among the second group of PUCCH resource(s).
